After more than 10 years of exploration in the Casablanca Valley, Viña Morandé has achieved the ideal quality to create Casatinta, a blend of Malbec, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, which elevates the red varieties of this valley to the next level.
The history of Viña Morandé and the Casablanca Valley has been intertwined for over 40 years since our founding winemaker, Pablo Morandé, discovered the incredible potential of this area. It was his vision that led to the planting of the first vines in the valley, starting a trajectory of success and recognition that has made Casablanca one of the most prestigious places in the country for wine production.
From this history comes Morandé Casatinta, a testament to Viña Morandé’s commitment to excellence and winemaking innovation. This wine symbolizes a decade of exploration and effort to achieve perfect quality, representing a milestone in red wine production in Casablanca. Casatinta is more than a wine; it is a masterpiece destined to be a benchmark in quality and prestige.
Produced in the Belén estate of the Casablanca Valley, Morandé Casatinta is a careful blend of 72% Malbec, 24% Syrah, and 4% Cabernet Franc. This vineyard is distinguished by its red granite soils and a privileged location on the northwest slope, allowing for optimal sun exposure and creating the ideal conditions for exceptional grape maturation.
The Malbec in Casatinta brings a unique floral character and the delicacy of the grape, complemented by notes of red fruits. The Syrah introduces layers of black fruits and a distinctive olive touch, characteristic of Casablanca. The Cabernet Franc adds tannins and spicy notes, enriching the complexity of the wine. Each sip of Casatinta offers a flavor experience that becomes increasingly rich and deep.
Morandé Casatinta represents the cutting edge of winemaking and excellence in the Casablanca Valley, marking a new milestone in innovation and quality. With each glass, the dedication and commitment of Viña Morandé to tradition and innovation are celebrated, honoring the pioneering vision of Pablo Morandé and taking Casablanca wines to new heights.
